NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 40–2377, License No. Stb–472 

(Terminated) 

Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical 

Corporation; Notice of Completion of 

Decommissioning of Kaiser Aluminum 

& Chemical Corporation Site, Tulsa, 

OK 

ACTION: Notice of Completion of 

Decommissioning of the Kaiser 

Aluminum & Chemical Corporation 

(Kaiser) Tulsa Site. 

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is noticing the 

completion of decommissioning 

activities at the Kaiser Tulsa Site located 

in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 

Background 

The Kaiser plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 

was built by the Standard Magnesium 

Corporation (SMC) in the early to mid1950s to manufacture magnesium 

products. SMC received a source 

materials license from the Atomic 

Energy Commission (AEC) in March 

1958, authorizing possession and title to 

magnesium-thorium alloy with up to 4 

percent thorium content for processing. 

Scrap magnesium-thorium alloy was 

smelted along with other magnesium 

materials to recover the magnesium. 

Thorium alloy material comprised a 

small fraction of the total magnesium 

refined on site. Kaiser purchased the 

facility in 1964. Kaiser’s license was 

terminated in 1971, by the AEC at 

Kaiser’s request. 

The Kaiser facility was placed on the 

Site Decommissioning Management 

Plan (SDMP) list in 1994, after the NRC 

detected surface contamination on, and 

adjacent to, the Kaiser property in 1993. 

Kaiser elected to remediate the site in 

two phases. 

In Phase 1, Kaiser remediated the land 

adjacent to the Kaiser property. In Phase 

2, Kaiser remediated the Kaiser property 

itself. 

Kaiser conducted off-site remediation 

activities from October 2000, through 

May 2001. Remediation activities 

primarily involved excavating affected 

soil and moving it onto Kaiser’s 

property. A final status survey (FSS) 

was performed following completion of 

remediation/excavation in each survey 

unit to demonstrate that postremediation radiological conditions 

satisfied the SDMP Action Plan criteria 

for unrestricted release as specified in 

the Phase 1 Decommissioning Plan (DP). 

Following successful remediation, 

excavations were backfilled. In March 

2002, NRC informed Kaiser that the 

adjacent land areas met NRC’s criteria 

for unrestricted release. 

Kaiser submitted the Phase 2 DP on 

May 25, 2001, [with revisions on May 

31, 2003, October 6, 2003, May 5, 2005, 

September 8, 2005 and March 21, 2006] 

and DP Addendum on May 9, 2002, 

with a revision on May 31, 2003. NRC 

approved these documents on June 8, 

2003, January 7, 2004, June 22, 2005, 

and October 3, 2005. 

Although Kaiser is not a licensee, it 

agreed to perform remediation activities 

in accordance with 10 CFR Part 40. 

Kaiser conducted decommissioning 

activities at the site in accordance with 

its approved DP from June 2003 to June 

2006. In accordance with the DP, Kaiser 

conducted FSSs to demonstrate that the 

facility and site meet the criteria for 

unrestricted release as defined it its DP. 

Details of the FSS results were 

submitted to the NRC in six separate 

FSS reports (FSSRs). On September 14, 

2006, Kaiser notified NRC that it had 

completed decommissioning and FSSs 

of the Tulsa, Oklahoma site, and that the 

FSSs demonstrate that the site meets the 

criteria for decommissioning and release 

for unrestricted use. 

NRC conducted a number of 

independent confirmatory surveys to 

verify FSS results obtained by Kaiser. 

Confirmatory surveys consisted of 

surface scans for beta and gamma 

radiation, direct measurements for total 

beta activity, collection and analysis of 

soil samples for thorium, and collection 

of smear samples for determining 

removable radioactivity levels. 

The Commission has concluded, 

based on the considerations discussed 

above, that: (1) Radioactive material 

above release limits has been properly 

disposed; (2) reasonable effort has been 

made to eliminate residual radioactive 

contamination; (3) submitted FSSRs and 

associated documentation, demonstrate 

that the facility and site are suitable for 

release in accordance with the criteria 

for decommissioning in 10 CFR Part 20, 

Subpart E; and (4) records required by 

10 CFR 40.61(d) and (f) have been 

received. Therefore, the Kaiser Tulsa 

Site is suitable for unrestricted release.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Identification of Countries Under 

Section 182 of the Trade Act of 1974: 

Request for Public Comment 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Request for written submissions 

from the public. 

SUMMARY: Section 182 of the Trade Act 

of 1974 (Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2242), 

requires the United States Trade 

Representative (USTR) to identify 

countries that deny adequate and 

effective protection of intellectual 

property rights or deny fair and 

equitable market access to U.S. persons 

who rely on intellectual property 

protection. (Section 182 is commonly 

referred to as the ‘‘Special ‘‘301’’

provisions of the Trade Act.) In 

addition, the USTR is required to 

determine which of these countries 

should be identified as Priority Foreign 

Countries. Acts, policies or practices 

that are the basis of a country’s 

identification as a priority foreign 

country are normally the subject of an 

investigation under the Section 301 

provisions of the Trade Act. Section 182 

of the Trade Act contains a special rule 

for the identification of actions by 

Canada affecting United States cultural 

industries. 

USTR requests written submissions 

from the public concerning foreign 

countries’ acts, policies, and practices 

that are relevant to the decision whether 

particular trading partners should be 

identified under Section 182 of the 

Trade Act. 

DATES: Submissions must be received on 

or before 10 a.m. on Monday, February 

12, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: All comments should be 

addressed to Sybia Harrison, Special 

Assistant to the Section 301 Committee, 

and sent (i) electronically, to 

FR0606@ustr.eop.gov (please note, 

‘‘FR0606’’ consists of the numbers 

‘‘zero-six-zero-six,’’) with ‘‘Special 301 

Review’’ in the subject line, or (ii) by 

fax, to (202) 395–9458, with a 

confirmation copy sent electronically to 

the e-mail address above. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Choe Groves, Director for 

Intellectual Property and Innovation 

and Chair of the Special 301 Committee, 

Office of the United States Trade 

Representative. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to Section 182 of the Trade Act, USTR 

must identify those countries that deny 

adequate and effective protection for 

intellectual property rights or deny fair 

and equitable market access to U.S. 

persons who rely on intellectual 

property protection. Those countries 

that have the most onerous or egregious 

acts, policies, or practices and whose 

acts, policies or practices have the 

greatest adverse impact (actual or 

potential) on relevant U.S. products are 

to be identified as Priority Foreign 

Countries. Acts, policies or practices 

that are the basis of a country’s 

designation as a Priority Foreign 

Country are normally the subject of an 

investigation under the Section 301 

provisions of the Trade Act. 

USTR may not identify a country as 

a Priority Foreign Country if it is 

entering into good faith negotiations, or 

making significant progress in bilateral 

or multilateral negotiations, to provide 

adequate and effective protection of 

intellectual property rights. 

USTR requests that, where relevant, 

submissions mention particular regions, 

provinces, states, or other subdivisions 

of a country in which an act, policy, or 

practice deserve special attention in this 

year’s report. Such mention may be 

positive or negative, so long as it 

deviates from the general norm in that 

country. 

Section 182 contains a special rule 

regarding actions of Canada affecting 

United States cultural industries. The 

USTR must identify any act, policy or 

practice of Canada that affects cultural 

industries, is adopted or expanded after 

December 17, 1992, and is actionable 

under Article 2106 of the North 

American Free Trade Agreement 

(NAFTA). Any act, policy or practice so 

identified shall be treated the same as 

an act, policy or practice which was the 

basis for a country’s identification as a 

Priority Foreign Country under Section 

182(a)(2) of the Trade Act, unless the 

United States has already taken action 

pursuant to Article 2106 of the NAFTA. 

USTR must make the abovereferenced identifications within 30 

days after publication of the National 

Trade Estimate (NTE) report, i.e., no 

later than April 30, 2007. 

Requirements for comments: 

Comments should include a description 

of the problems experienced and the 

effect of the acts, policies, and practices 

on U.S. industry. Comments should be 

as detailed as possible and should 

provide all necessary information for 

assessing the effect of the acts, policies, 

and practices. Any comments that 

include quantitative loss claims should 

be accompanied by the methodology 

used in calculating such estimated 

losses. 

Comments must be in English. No 

submissions will be accepted via postal 

service mail. Documents should be 

submitted as either WordPerfect, MS 

Word, .pdf, or text (.TXT) files. 

Supporting documentation submitted as 

spreadsheets are acceptable as Quattro 

Pro or Excel files. A submitter 

requesting that information contained in 

a comment be treated as confidential 

business information must certify that 

such information is business 

confidential and would not customarily 

be released to the public by the 

submitter. A non-confidential version of 

the comment must also be provided. For 

any document containing business 

confidential information, the file name 

of the business confidential version 

should begin with the characters ‘‘BC-’’, 

and the file name of the public version 

should begin with the character ‘‘P-’’. 

The ‘‘P-’’ or ‘‘BC-’’ should be followed 

by the name of the submitter. 

Submissions should not include 

separate cover letters; information that 

might appear in a cover letter should be 

included in the submission itself. To the 

extent possible, any attachments to the 

submission should be included in the 

same file as the submission itself, and 

not as separate files. 

All comments should be addressed to 

Sybia Harrison, Special Assistant to the 

Section 301 Committee, and sent (i) 

electronically, to FR0606@ustr.eop.gov 

(please note, ‘‘FR0606’’ consists of the 

numbers ‘‘zero-six-zero-six,’’) with 

‘‘Special 301 Review’’ in the subject 

line, or (ii) by fax, to (202) 395–9458, 

with a confirmation copy sent 

electronically to the email address 

above.
